Howard/Carpenter/Maholm/Jimenez/Thome/Holliday Refractors: While these are good looking cards of decent to great players, I was disappointed to not pull a single x-fractor or colored refractor in the box. Sometimes the baseball card gods just aren't on your side.
Josh Kreuzer Rookie Auto: Before I bought this box I hoped aloud that I didn't pull an auto of the murderer (Angel Villalona) or the guy who wasn't in baseball anymore (Josh Kreuzer). So what did I do? Pull a Kreuzer auto of course. He was 26-years-old when this card was released and never progressed past Double-A. Thanks Bowman...thanks a lot.
2008 Bowman Chrome Sticker: This hit really saved my break, as I can use it on the end of a box to help me organize my collection. I haven't seen any on eBay yet, but I'm conservatively guessing it's worth around $800.Overall Thoughts: There aren't that many great names in the autograph checklist and colored refractors are few and far between. After a couple of great boxes of Bowman in the past few months, my luck finally ran out and I hit the wall in a bad way. I don't think I would open another box of this, even if I could get it for around $40 again. My advice? Stay away!
